Question

Hakim takes a rectangular piece of fabric and makes a diagonal cut from one corner to the oppositecorner. The cut he makes is 9 inches long and the width of the fabric is 6 inches. What is the fabric'slength? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The rectangular fabric is as,

Determine the length of a retangular fabrics by using the pythagoras theorem.

$\begin{gathered} l=\sqrt[]{(9)^2-(6)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{81-36} \\ =\sqrt[]{45} \\ =6.708 \\ \approx6.7 \end{gathered}$

So length of
